Want to see my ice cream truck, my kitty?

Callum is overjoyed at his new kitten, Lupine. Yesterday morning we went up to Bangor, ate breakfast at Dysart's, and met Amanda's friend whose cat had kittens--one of them being this little girl....

She is nine weeks old, and seemed way too small to put in a huge pet carrier for an hour trip home...so Amanda sat in the back seat with Callum and held Lupine. However, immediately upon getting on the highway, Lupine crawled right over to Callum's car seat, snuggled right up on his lap, and slept most of the way home. They are buddies! And Callum is very protective (and kind of possessive) of "my kitty Lupine."
We are definitely a cat family, and, after having Thomas and dealing with his kidney cancer (and all the little pee pees he did all over the house) and then problems from other adult male cats we tried to bring home, we became despondent. We realized that if we were to have a cat, it would have to be a) a kitten with NO history or drama or habits, and b)a girl, with no domination/territorial types of issues with other males. So we lucked out with this little girl.
She loves to cuddle, and she slept with us all last night.

Here is a picture of a glowing Amanda, who still has ten weeks left to go with our little girl....I think she is looking fantastic (and HUGE). She feels huge too. I have to tie her shoes now.
Last night Jon and Kelsey came by to meet Lupine, see Callum, and go to enjoy some Asian Cafe. It was fun, and to make it even better, they are finally seeing the light that THE OFFICE is the funniest show ever....so we watched a couple of episodes.
Go Pats
